Eco –tourism is more than a catch phrase for nature loving travel and recreation. Eco tourism is holy for preserving and sustaining the diversity of the world’s natural and cultural environment. It accommodates and entertains visitors in a way that is minimally intrusive or destructive to the environment and sustains and supports the cultures in the locations it is operating in. Responsibility of both travelers and service providers is the genuine meaning for Eco tourism.
